Sky Sports News understands Chelsea have resumed talks with Nicolas Anelka over a two-year contract extension.

Negotiations were reported to have stalled in January as both parties were struggling to agree a deal.

Anelka has just over a year to run on his contract and the Frenchman has previously implied he would be happy to pledge his long-term future to the West London club.

It was feared that with discussion hitting an impasse at the start of the year the nomadic striker could decide to move on in search of a new club.

However, Chelsea have now reopened talks with the former Arsenal and Liverpool ace as they look to tie him down to a new long-term contract.

Anelka has found himself as a regular in Carlo Ancelotti's side this season with the 30-year-old scoring 13 goals so far this term.
